Overview
After very insightful and thorough examination of the Dr. Seuss books, Dr. Einhorn offers her brilliant interpretations of why we all love his books. Not only very intelligent, this book is highly entertaining, simultaneously serious and humorous, as it specifically illustrates how Seuss combined entertainment with spiritual lessons. Reputed to transform children's story time forever from the boring Dick and Jane series to a land of wild imagination, Dr. Seuss's books encourage children to think for themselves. Einhorn wisely explains how his books nurture respect, responsibility, daring, bravery, paying attention, living in the present, seeing the universe as something continually changing and interconnected. As Seuss’s books encourage children to play, have fun, and laugh, so will you feel joy as you read this book.
A New Awareness - Seeing the Extraordinary in the Ordinary May 21, 2012
By Richard R. Blake TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE
Dr. Einhorn introduces her observations and interpretations of the writing of Dr. Seuss by sharing her insights on some unique often overlooked subtleties. The Dr. Seuss books:
* Encourage the building positive values and vision
* Emphasize important character traits
* Expand a child's awareness, curiosity, and creative imagination
* Entertain with humor, clever illustrations, and comical visuals
* Embolden children to think for themselves
* And offer the reader an opportunity to, experience the joy of reading aloud with an attentive, appreciative audience of children
Dr. Einhorn draws noteworthy parallels from the stories of Dr. Seuss and classic thinkers, spiritual leaders, writers, and others. The message is timeless, the teaching universal. She includes quotes from people like: Albert Einstein, Edwin Markham, Khalil Gibran, Howard Thurman, Eric Hoffer, and Cicero to re-enforce her observations.
I personally, begin reading Dr. Seuss stories to my own children, then to my grandchildren, and now to the great grand kids. Thanks to Dr. Einhorn's keen insights, I now better understand why it is important for me to pass along this important source of core values, exemplifying: Trust, unity, courage, integrity, gratefulness, and so many more wonderful lessons.
"Why Do We All Love Dr. Seuss?" is entertaining, informational, giving the reader a new awareness enabling them to see through the eyes of Dr. Seuss's characters the extraordinary in the ordinary. Highly recommended.
Would you, could you, read this book? You’ll be glad to take a look
When you're hassled, stressed and frazzled Read this book and you'll be dazzled
A thrilling read, quite fun and fast The Cat, the Hat, and the whole cast
Full of insights that will last Pick it up and have a blast
— Scott Kalechstein Grace, Author of Teach Me How to Love: A True Story that Touches Hearts & Helps With the Laundry! and If Dr. Seuss Studied Eckhart Tolle
